Critical Assessment of Function Annotation
Appearance
The Critical Assessment of Functional Annotation (CAFA) is an experiment designed to provide a large-scale assessment of computational methods dedicated to predicting protein function.[1]
Different algorithms are evaluated by their ability to predict the Gene Ontology (GO) terms in the categories of Molecular Function and Biological Process. The experiment consists of two tracks: (i) the eukaryotic track, (ii) the prokaryotic track. In each track, a set of targets is provided by the organizers. Participants are expected to submit their predictions by the submission deadline, after which they are assessed according to a set of specific metrics.
